Application filed March 15, 1922. Serial No. 543,932.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, VVALLAon R. Wriirrn- MORE, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Binghamton, in the county of 5 Broome and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in RotatingServers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in rotating servers or diningroom servers for dining room tables or other tables or counters wherefood is served and where articles for table service are used, and it hasfor its object to provide a series of artistic rotating shelves, andsupports where the varied articles of table service may be placed andarranged so as to bring them within the handy reach of the users, and atthe same time present an artistic and finished article of ornament tothe table.

With these objects in view my invention consists in certain novelfeatures of con struction and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1, is a plan viewof my device mounted on a table.

Fig. 2 is a side view of my device placed 3 on a table.

Fig. 3 is a side view of a detailed part of my device.

Fig. 4, is a side view of a detailed part of my device.

Fig. 5 is a side view of a detailed part of my device.

Fig. 6 is an edge view of a detailed part of my device.

Fig. 7 is a plan view of a detailed part of my device.

The same reference characters denote like parts in each of the severalfigures of the drawings.

In carrying out my invention, 1 provide a base A, preferably circular inform, in the center of which I have a threaded socket 3, and in which Imount the threaded spindle l, having the lower screw threaded shank 5;on the spindle 4i, 1 mount the tubular standard 6, which has threadedconnection with the base support 8 which is fastened in the center ofthe lower shelf 9, which opening also extends through said support; thetop of the standard (5 is closed, and the closed top rests upon thepoint of spindle l; around standard 6, l mount a slidable collar 11, inwhich I have the set screw 12; slidably mounted on standard 6 andresting on collar 11, 1 have the support 13 and mounted on support 18, Ihave the perforated shelf 14, the openings in which are adapted to holdarticles of table service. On the upper end of standard 6, and havingthreaded connection therewith, I have the support 15, which is mountedin any convenient manner in the center of the under side of the uppershelf 16; the upper shelf 16, has let into its outer edge the curvedrecesses 17 17, 17 5 the upper and lower shelves 16 and 9 respectivelyare constructed preferably of wood with a highly polished surface, andabout the edge thereof, I have mounted a metallic border of polishedmaterial 21. Mounted on the under side of shelf 16, l have the metallicsupports 18, 18, 18 in which are mounted the curved hangers, 19, 19, 19and on the lower end of hangers 19, I have the disc shaped shelves 20,20, 20, preferably of wood and having upon them the metallic border oredging 21, 21, 21, these shelves being for the purpose of holdingvarious additional articles of table service, and forming a variedornamental feature of the structure.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and for which, Idesire Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. In rotating table servers for tables, a base, aspindle vertically andcentrally mounted in the base, a shelf provided with an opening throughwhich said spindle passes, said opening being threaded, a tubularstandard mounted on said spindle with its lower end screwed into theopening in the shelf, a collar slidably and adjustably mounted on thestandard, a support mounted on the standard and resting upon the collar,a perforated shelf slidably mounted on the standard and held by said.support, an upper shelf removably mounted on the upper end of thestandard and provided with recesses in the edge thereof, and a series ofsuspended shelves below the upper shelf edge thereof, brackets dependingfrom the V and in alinement with said recesses. under side of the shelfopposite said recesses 10 2. In a device of the class described, a anddisk shaped shelves supported by said portable base, a spindlevertically supportbrackets beneath the recesses.

5 ed in the base, a sleeve closed at its upper In testimony whereof Ihave afiiXed my end and rotatably mounted on the spindle, a signature.
